Clay Paw Print
$59.00
At Radiant Heart we take the time and have developed the skills required to create an exceptional clay paw print.
Your pet’s clay print should last a lifetime. That’s why we use a white polymer clay. Polymer clay is more expensive than the types of clay commonly used by veterinary clinics or other pet cremation services. However, polymer clay allows for a detailed and highly tactile print that once baked is almost impossible to break.
Once we have a nicely shaped and detailed impression of your pet’s paw, we then add your pet’s name and create holes for a ribbon. The print is baked for approximately 30 minutes, cooled, and then sanded both by machine and hand. (Sanding polymer clay creates a great deal of dust. In our Care Center there is a special room devoted entirely to sanding clay paw prints.)
After baking and sanding the clay print, we then wash the clay print with soap and water. We use a dental pick to remove any stubborn debris. We also look for any imperfections outside of the print that may require revision and re-baking.
The completed print is then carefully wrapped in tissue paper before being presented to you.
